I am fertile and my doctor prescribed Clomid for me because of my husband's poor sperm count. He said that with more eggs produced, it would increase our chances with more "targets" for them to reach. I was not monitored at all. He said to track my temperatures, use an ovulation predictor test, and come in if I got a positive pregnancy test. I am now 6 weeks pregnant, but I don't know yet how many babies there are. I understand feeling concerned for those who are taking Clomid unprescribed, although, in my situation, I wasn't monitored anyway. However, I take offense at those who suggest that people who are naturally fertile are just selfish. If someone was infertile and took Clomid and got pregnant with twins, everyone would be pleased for them. But if a fertile woman takes the same medication and gets pregnant with twins, she is a selfish monster? That doesn't really seem fair.

Blessings to all,
Sheryl
